それでは今日も楽しんで動画を見ていきましょう！

00:00

I don't know about you -- other than you’re a smart inquisitive person who loves to learn

00:09

new things here on the Bright Side -- but regarding planning for the future, well, I

00:14

sometimes have great difficulty forecasting where I’ll end up at the end of the day,

00:19

let alone next month or even year!

00:21

A scientist named Niels Bohr once said “Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future.”

00:28

It turns out that there are some trend-based prophecies for the far-off, distant future!

00:33

So check out these amazing things that could become our reality by 2100!

00:39

Let’s begin with years 2020-2029 - India has become the most populated country

00:46

in the world by the year 2022.

00:49

China has fallen to the second position on this list.

00:52

- People have completely broken language barriers.

00:55

New technologies have made instant translation nothing out of the ordinary, and voila!

01:01

Your smartphone speaks Indonesian on your behalf.

01:04

So now you can butt dial anyone in the world and they’ll understand who dialed the wrong

01:08

number.

01:09

- By 2020, they have finished the construction of the tallest structure in the world.

01:15

The top of Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia is towering above the planet at a height of 3,281

01:21

ft (1 km).

01:23

- Scrolls, which are, in fact, groundbreaking screens that you can roll up, have replaced

01:28

good old solid tablets.

01:30

The ultra-thin digital displays can reproduce video, images, and text, and let you browse

01:36

the Internet.

01:38

- Your car is completely integrated into the universal traffic system.

01:43

Not only does it communicate with traffic lights to improve safety at intersections,

01:47

but it also interacts with other cars, which prevents accidents.

01:52

- Besides, your car has learned to search for the gas stations with the best discounts.

01:56

Oh, and it handles all the payments as well.

02:01

- And if your car breaks down, you can easily print the necessary replacement part with

02:06

the help of a 3D printer.

02:09

- Passwords have become obsolete.

02:11

Face-recognition, voiceprints, retinal scans, and even heartbeats will replace passwords

02:17

entirely.

02:18

- More than 5 billion people use the Internet worldwide.

02:22

That's equal to the whole Earth's population back in 1987.

02:27

- Self-cleaning buildings have appeared, which also fight smog and air pollution.

02:31

They are coated with titanium dioxide that, when heated by sunlight, releases free radicals

02:37

and breaks the grime down.

02:39

Then everything gets washed away in the rain.

02:42

- By 2020-2021, the first space hotel has opened its doors for the first visitors.

02:49

No wait that’s a bad idea.

02:51

They all get sucked out into the vacuum.

02:53

How about we open "airlocks" for them instead?)

02:56

Either way, to see our planet from space, you still have to fork over about $9.5 million

03:02

for a 12-day trip.

03:04

- The year 2025 - and the world's population has grown up to 8 billion people.

03:09

I feel bad for introverts.

03:12

No room to hide any more.

03:13

- At least now you don't need to wash your clothes anymore.

03:17

The same titanium dioxide coating that protects buildings also helps cotton to get rid of

03:23

stains on your shirts.

03:24

On top of that, it wipes out all the bacteria that produce unpleasant smells.

03:29

All you need to do is spend a few minutes in the sun.

03:33

- By 2028, it's become impossible to live in Venice, Italy.

03:37

While the town is not entirely underwater, the water level is so high that people have

03:43

deserted their houses.

03:44

So, if you haven't visited Venice yet, hurry up!

03:49

Years 2030-2060 - By 2030, the Arctic ice sheet has significantly

03:55

decreased in size.

03:57

What's more, all the ice in the Arctic Ocean melts during the summer.

04:01

And by 2037, all the Arctic sea ice might have disappeared altogether.

04:08

- People have digitalized all the books that have ever been written.

04:11

And isn't it super convenient?

04:13

On the other hand, to carry along the library of humanity, you'll need to have 124 3-terabyte

04:20

drives.

04:21

- In 2033, a manned mission sets off for Mars.

04:26

As for the whole space exploration program, also called the Aurora program, it's going

04:31

to concentrate on exploring the Moon, Mars, and nearby asteroids.

04:36

- By 2045, the over 60 year olds have outnumbered teenagers and young people for the first time

04:42

in human history, which has created some problems with employment.

04:46

But don't worry!

04:47

Hospitals, for instance, have solved this issue with the help of robots as staff members.

04:54

- Supersonic jets running on fuel made of a special air mixture have appeared.

04:58

That's why these days, you need 2 hours at most to get from London to New York.

05:04

- Not only your car, but your home as well, has become completely connected.

05:09

Special sensors inform you which part of your garden you should fertilize.

05:13

Your carpets detect intruders and call for help if something happens, and you fall.

05:18

Your thermostat knows your temperature preferences and adjusts the climate in the room you enter.

05:24

- Tiny supercomputers that are no bigger than a sugar cube have seen the light of day.

05:29

With the appearance of nanoparticle-infused liquid, there’s no need for all the wires.

05:34

The only problem will be finding the gadget in your pocket.

05:39

- If your usual order is a cup of decaf coffee, you're in for a pleasant surprise: by 2030,

05:45

farmers have started to grow caffeine-free coffee beans.

05:49

- There are more than 9 billion people on the planet, and 7 out of 10 live in cities

05:54

and towns.

05:55

To produce food for all of them, farmscrapers have been built.

05:59

These vertical farms feed urban areas by growing pesticide-free vegetables, fruit, and crops

06:05

all year round.

06:07

Years 2061-2100 - Good news!

06:11

By 2075, the ozone layer has healed itself entirely.

06:17

No more holes that let in dangerous ultraviolet light that causes serious diseases.

06:23

- On the other hand, by the end of the 21st century, almost 83% of the Amazon rainforest

06:28

has disappeared due to climate change and consequent droughts.

06:33

People have literally heated up the world.

06:36

- There are tiny sensors all over your body.

06:39

Thanks to them, doctors can monitor your vitals round the clock.

06:43

Spinal cord implants that are capable of reversing paralysis are now available.

06:48

Chips in your brain help you to get new information while you're asleep.

06:52

Plus, if you want to lose weight, you can get a stomach chip which will monitor your

06:57

diet.

06:59

- Due to the wide use of artificial implants, such as bionic eyes, synthetic blood, or ears

07:05

with enhanced hearing, a lot of humans have become more non-biological than biological.

07:12

- People have started the construction of a transatlantic tunnel.

07:16

Theoretically, with the help of a magnetic levitation train that can reach the speed

07:20

of 4,000 mph (6,437 kph), you'll be able to get from America to Europe in less than an

07:26

hour.

07:27

- Lots of Winter Olympic sites have become unsuitable for holding the event.

07:31

There are no regular snowfalls, so many winter sports have been moved indoors.

07:36

- By 2100, all the world has become connected with the help of hypersonic tube trains.

07:43

They incorporate the features of maglev trains and pneumatic tubes.

07:47

These vactrains levitate inside closed tubes, moving forward with the help of magnetic fields.

07:55

- One of the fastest developing regions in the world is West Antarctica.

08:00

After the ice has melted in some regions of this continent, the land has become suitable

08:04

for building huge cities with high-rise buildings.

08:08

Antarctica's population has grown up to several million people.

08:13

- Many languages have died out, and the total number has dropped from about 7,000 to less

08:18

than half of this figure.

08:20

- Despite numerous attempts to prevent climate change, people haven't managed to save most

08:25

lowland regions.

08:26

And as the sea level has risen by almost 6.5 ft (2 m) by 2090, millions of people have

08:32

been forced to relocate.

08:34

Many countries have spent trillions of dollars on evacuating and relocating their citizens,

08:39

as well as coastal defenses.

08:42

- On the bright side, the average person works less than 20 hours per week!

08:47

I bet people in the future are immensely grateful to AI for changing the nature of work.

08:52

Jobs have become more intellectual and creative.

08:58
